One omre good thing abount Laos is that spending your vacation here is inexpensive at all.
You can stay alive by spending a few bucks each day. It is very OK for budget travellers who love to observe peace of life.
It may cause a little inconveneince to get around cuz no planes here and transportation still needs improvements but I'm sure it's worth visiting the country.
Yes, Laos is a winderful place. My preferred area is Luang Prabang. Accomodation are fine in Vientane and sometimes in Luang Prabang. Trasports are difficult.
